1

Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?

72% Answer Correctly

respiration

digestion

circulation

nervous


Solution

The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.


2

During digestion, the kidneys filter substances from the blood. Which of the following is not filtered by the kidneys?

73% Answer Correctly

water

fats

salt

minerals


Solution

Chemical waste like excess water, minerals, and salt are filtered from the blood by the kidneys and secreted into the urine. Urine is transported from the kidneys to the bladder through ureters.


3

The universal recipient blood type can recieve any other blood type. Which blood type is the universal recipient?

45% Answer Correctly

AB-positive

O-negative

AB

O


Solution

Blood transfer is limited by the type and Rh factor of the blood. Someone who has Rh-factor negative blood cannot receive blood with a positive type but a person with Rh-factor positive type blood can receive Rh-negative blood. Type O negative blood is the universal donor because it can be given to a person with any blood type. Type AB positive is the universal recipient meaning someone with this blood type can receive any other type of blood.


4

Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?

64% Answer Correctly

ovum → fetus → zygote

zygote → ovum → fetus

none of these are correct

ovum → zygote → fetus


Solution

During intercourse, the penis ejaculates sperm, produced in the testes, into the vagina. Some of the sperm makes their way to the uterus where, if they encounter an egg to fertilize, unite with the ovum to form a fertilized egg or zygote. The zygote then may implant in the uterus and eventually develop into a fetus.

ventricle, atrium

Solution

The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.
